About Tami
Tami Brugman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy struggles, and many life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, focused on real steps that help day-to-day functioning.
She meets each person where they are and builds a plan together. Tami uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, hypnotherapy, and client-centered methods depending on the need. Sessions emphasize finding small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Tami draws on a career that includes community mental health and private practice settings. That range has shaped how she supports people with everything from life adjustments to more complex mental health challenges. She is also pursuing a PhD in Applied Psychophysiology to better understand the mind-body link.
In sessions she combines conversation, practical exercises, and awareness techniques to help with sleep, eating, coping with grief, trauma, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other concerns. She aims to be a collaborative partner rather than an expert who tells people what to do.
People who choose her can expect a focus on their goals, steady feedback, and tools to practice between meetings. She encourages small experiments that fit into everyday life and adjusts methods as progress is made.
